Many professional schools do not require a specific major or degree for admission, but pre-professional students must complete the admission pre-requisites for their preferred professional schools as they complete their undergraduate degree. We therefore advise students to seek a broad education and to major in a field they are truly interested in, rather than what they think might be preferred by professional schools. No matter what the major, prospective students should note that the core science requirements for admission to health-related professional schools are offered by the College of Liberal Arts on the Macon campus.

The Mercer Advantage

The pre-medical, pre-nursing, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-physician assistant, pre-athletic training, and pre-law programs in the College of Liberal Arts offer opportunities for undergraduate students to earn special consideration and, in some programs, acceleration, upon application to the University's professional schools.
